how much for taxes and fee for award ticket
I don't have an account with Qantas yet but may depending on award fees and points.
For CNS to AYQ, how many points on economy and what will the tax and fee be?
Also for ASP to ADL, how many points on economy and what will the tax and fee be?
Thanks

@metoo - the Tax varies with the route, AUD58 for CNS to AYQ and AUD39 for ASP to ADL.
For awards, Qantas charge an additional AUD14 per domestic segment, so totals of AUD72 and AUD53 respectively.
Each route is 12000 QFF points in economy.

thank you all for your answers. it seems like BA and AA would cost less.
I am looking for an economy for CNS to AYQ in November 2019. Presently no award seat available at BA or AA for my date.
Does anyone know if Qantas will release the seat closer to departure date?
Is there a good chance Qantas will release it on the particular route I am interested in.

Looking at a sample day in November, it seems QF are blocking about 50 seats out of the 125 available - suggesting QF have or are expecting a group tour booking. These blocked seats include most of the prime window seats forward of the wing. Window seats are available aft of the wing.

AA have a zone based system, so the same 10,000 AA ff miles for ASP to ADL (816 miles) as for say SYD-PER (2041 miles)

"Wholly within: Australia main cabin 10,000 miles"
BA avios is good for shortish flights as based on distance
Alaska is another QF ff partner. 12,500 AS ff miles. AS allow stopovers, but unsure if that can apply to awards on QF domestic flights.

Best not to end up with orphan QF ff points.

Award availability for QFF is greater than for AAdvantage or BA for the same flight, at least for some flights which are in high demand. So your choice may be an available award from QFF vs. no award from the cheaper AA or BA (and whether or not it is cheaper depends how you value points, as they don't equate 1:1). On your routes availability will usually drop closer to travel date. All depends how much date and route flexibilty you have.

Can someone dummy book a DUB to OKC reward economy classic flight for me (8/19/19) on Qantas to see what the taxes/fees would be? It won't show me unless I have enough points and I don't wanna transfer my MR points over to Qantas just to see the potential tax/fee costs. TIA!

Taxes/charges will be dependent upon flights taken and , potentially, class of service

Thanks, but Qantas is not popping up as an airline. I'm not sure I know how to work that website properly...

which airline are you planning to fly on?
You should be able to do one way , from DUB , to OKC and then it will give various choices. Find one that matches your planned journey

Not uprising as QF do not fly DUB to OKC. Very much AA BA territory.

BA would be an awful choice - start by flying backwards to London and then 2 flights to get to OKC -- plus miss out on the US immigration clearance facility offered in Dublin
